DeuXX

6 July 2017, 19:00 - 23:30

DeuXX is a brand new monthly screening series based in Montreal, championing women in film by presenting works by female filmmakers.

Screenings will consist of single or double bills of fun, fierce films, taking place in the fantastic artist-run gallery Eastern Bloc, located in the heart of the Mile-Ex. Come for the female gaze, stay for the drinks and the bean bag chairs!

DeuXX is proud to launch its new monthly screening series with the Quebec premiere of Alice Lowe’s darkly funny PREVENGE!

Tickets will be $7 at the door / Facebook Event
7 p.m.: Doors open (arrive early for drinks and to claim a bean bag!)

Grieving single mother-to-be, Ruth spends her downtime in a hotel room watching black and white horror movies featuring women as horrific goddess figures. Her unborn child, not content to just gestate in silence, commands her to go on a killing spree. Ruth in turn becomes an avenging femme fatale, targeting the people she blames for her partner’s death, and marking her kills in a baby book.

Having conceived of the film while pregnant and unable to find work, writer, director and star Alice Lowe (Sightseers, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace) offers us a unique and fiercely funny blood-filled take on the violence and horrors of pregnancy, cleverly subverting the archetype of the pregnant woman.
